A connection cache maintains a pool of available connections that EJB Server components use to interact with the data server. You must configure connection caches for the specific user/database combinations used by your components. A connection cache entry improves performance by eliminating the overhead associated with setting up a connection when one is required.
You must install caches in an EJB Server before components in that server can access the cache. You must refresh the cache or refresh the server using View | Refresh All, or restart the server before any changes to the list of installed caches or to cache properties take effect.
